Frequently Asked Questions about Microsoft Excel + Microsoft Office 365 integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office 365
How do I integrate Microsoft Excel with Office 365 using our services?
To integrate Microsoft Excel with Office 365, you'll need to create a Zap. In the Zap, select Excel as your 'Trigger App', and choose a specific action like 'Add Row' as the trigger event. Then, set Office 365 as your 'Action App' and select an action like 'Send Email'. This sets up the flow where actions in Excel prompt corresponding actions in Office 365.
Can I automatically update an Excel spreadsheet when I receive an email in Office 365?
Yes, you can set up a workflow that will update your Excel spreadsheet based on triggers from incoming emails in Office 365. You would configure a trigger for receiving new emails in Outlook and an action for updating rows in Excel.

Certainly, you can automate creating calendar events in Outlook using new row entries as triggers from your Excel spreadsheets. When you add a new row to a specific spreadsheet, it will trigger our system to automatically create a corresponding event on your Outlook calendar.
How can we streamline document sharing using this integration?
By setting up triggers when documents are updated or created in Excel and aligning these with actions that share files via OneDrive or send links through emails, sharing becomes automated based on workflow rules defined by the user.
What happens if there is a data conflict during integration?
If there's ever a data conflict during integration, our system alerts you to review the discrepancies manually. It’s important that any potential conflicts are addressed immediately to maintain data integrity across both platforms.
Can I trigger surveys using forms based on updates made within Excel?
Yes, by configuring triggers tied to updates or additions made within an Excel sheet, you can automate sending surveys through forms. This ensures timely feedback collection aligned with your data management tasks.
Are there limitations on the types of data that can be synchronized between these applications?
